Xbox Closes a Milestone Year in 2016 with an Exceptional Year Ahead for Gamers

Lol random "independent study". And the "only console with 4k and hdr"  is a straight up lie

They've been spewing that lie for months now. But I guess it's okay till someone calls them out. Are they running the same ad's in the UK? Pretty sure one of you guys should speak up to have it shut down.

Is it actually not an independent study or did the study use a bad methodology?

[Ludicrous Speed]

Its 4k BR and HDR, which is mostly irrelevant, but factual.

Do we really need any studies to know PSN is hot garbage?

"Last but not least, we launched Xbox One S, delivering the only console with built-in UHD 4K Blu-ray, 4K video streaming and HDR for gaming and video"

"Last but not least, we launched Xbox One S, delivering the only console with built-in UHD 4K Blu-ray, 4K video streaming and HDR for gaming and video"

What they mean is that the X1S is the only console that has all 3 of these things together, it's put in a very misleading way but it's technically true.

It is all 3 features together... it is silly but well that is true.

Of course they could only say "the only UHD 4k Blu-ray console"... profit.

I wasn't referring to the study. And it was crud anyway.





These charts tell a whole lot.

why hello donald trump.

[BananaKing]

well that was a big pile of rubbish. pretty much it says nothing

though 23 million matches for horde and multiplayer for gears. isnt that kind of a really low number? lets say the game sold 2 million, thats means each player played on average 11.5 matches, thats really nothing. and thats including both Horde and Multiplayer. if the game sold 3 million, that means each player 7.6 matches. the number just seems WAY to low.

also scalebound and Sea of Thieves officially delayed, so its just going to be Halo wars 2 for the spring? cant understand why microsoft insists on releasing its exclusives in the holiday. if scalebound is released this holiday it will be eaten up by other big titles, same goes for Sea of Thieves.

I guess this isn't much of a surprise but this pretty much confirms that outside of Halo Wars 2 all MS exclusives will be coming in the second half of the year again. Somehow some people got it into their heads that Scalebound, Sea of Thieves and Crackdown 3 were all coming before next E3, Sea of Thieves Wikipedia entry even says the game is coming this quarter.

Crackdown... i have a feeling that game is going to be cancelled, or its going to drop its "could" aspect, and just release a rushed game, so they dont have to go through the PR of cancelling that game.

These are very uninformative graphs. Nothing is quantified.

I managed to find Microsoft's PR from last January. Here's the last sentence of their first paragraph:

Thanks to you, Xbox One continues to outpace Xbox 360 at the same point in time in the Xbox 360 generation, making it the best-selling console in Xbox console history.

[Legend]

What was 360 at at this time?
